He is a co-founder of the award-winning production company, Black Ticket Films and a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
This led him to the beginning of his debut film, Bullets and Butterflies, which traces the journey of a disabled street child and a motorcycling enthusiast, as they travel 1,500 kilometres over 7 days from Delhi to Himachal Pradesh, inadvertently also mapping an unlikely friendship.
[7][4] In 2009, Ghosh co-founded Black Ticket Films with Rintu Thomas and the duo have together directed and produced over 150 short documentaries under the company banner.
His short documentary Dilli, is a visual poem exploring notions of home, public space and belonging.
In 2012, Ghosh co-directed and shot Timbaktu, a meditation on life and sustenance, explored through the story of a small village in Andhra Pradesh, India.
The Hollywood Reporter called it “insightful and inspirational”[13] and the Financial Times in its review said, “Writing with Fire is a genre-defying masterpiece, one moment reminiscent of a dogged detective movie, the next recalling the great surround-sound reportage of Tom Wolfe and Joan Didion in the 1960s”.
[14] Ghosh and co-director Rintu Thomas became the first Indian filmmakers to win a Peabody Award for Writing With Fire.
